Retired Racehorse Farm to Hose Equine Field Day

New Vocations at Mereworth Farm will be hosting this year’s Equine Field Day on June 8th at 719 Dolan Lane in Lexington. Farm tours and exhibitor booths will be available beginning at 4 pm. The welcome address from UK’s new Equine Programs director, Dr. Mick Peterson, will be at 5:00, followed by a meal and educational sessions: Barn Design, Farm Site Planning, Controlling Intake on Pastures and Practical Pasture Management. New Vocations’ mission to rehabilitate, retrain and rehome retired racehorses has led to the placement of over 6,000 individuals, with over 450 retirees entering the program each year. See UK Forage Website for detailed program. RSVP to equine@uky.edu. ~ Krista Lea
